Most of the nurses and CNAs seemed nice, however, the feeling of being ignored was my parent's daily struggles. I understand that they have a lot of patients to take care of, but sometimes, when I was there, I could see some truth in it. The office people who take care of the business side was my frustration. Only if they would return my calls and keep me updated on the progress of my requests, I would've given the facility another star. Overall, the facility was constantly being kept clean, 70% of the staff were friendly and the care provided for my parent was acceptable, and I do appreciate what they do for all the patients.

Healthy Life Recovery gave me something I didn't know I needed: time, safety, and a real chance to…read morerebuild my life. I was here for over a year and I can honestly say this program provided me with the tools and resources to save my life. One of the things that sets Healthy Life apart is that it's a year-long program. That year gives you enough time to rebuild a solid foundation, whether you choose to use it or not. So many other programs don't offer that opportunity. Healthy Life does, and that extra time is what helped me get steady in my sobriety. Another thing I can't say enough about is the staff. There is always someone you can reach out to, day or night, and they will respond. I've had moments where I was struggling or a friend was in need, and staff always showed up. That kind of care and compassion isn't something you find just anywhere. The BHT's were a huge part of my journey here. On my hardest days, they met me with patience, encouragement, and even humor. They knew how to show up for me in ways that lifted my spirit and reminded me I wasn't alone. Some of my toughest moments turned into turning points because of the support they gave. The groups taught me things I still carry with me, the therapists genuinely cared, and most of the staff are in recovery themselves. That in and of itself gave me so much hope, because I could see people who had been where I was and made it through. I never felt alone here. Bonnie, the clinical director, guided me with wisdom and compassion that kept me grounded through some of my toughest days. James, who keeps the operations side running so smoothly, is the heart and engine of this place--his work doesn't always get the spotlight, but it absolutely shapes the experience here. And Keith and Ryan, the founders, are not like other owners. They built this place from the heart, and it shows. They don't just sit behind the scenes--they're present, they care, and they make sure every single person who comes through here is treated with dignity. I never once felt like I was just a number or an insurance policy. I felt like a human being who mattered, and that kind of leadership is rare. Healthy Life became my San Diego family. From the day I arrived with my dog Apollo, who was welcomed like family too, I knew I had found a home. That sense of belonging has only grown stronger. Even after graduating, I'm still connected through the alumni group, which keeps me accountable and plugged into a community of people who want the same thing: to stay sober and live better lives. Today, I am over two years sober, something I never thought was possible. When I first came here, I was hesitant, unsure if this was the right step or if I could even make it work. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction or if you're reading this and you feel the same way--I've been where you are. All I can say is: take the chance. This program gave me a life I didn't think I'd ever have, and I'm living proof that it's worth it. Healthy Life Recovery gave me the foundation, the guidance, and the love I needed to get here, and for that I will always be forever grateful.

I gave them a call & they instantly came to the rescue. The team was & has been extremely welcoming, efficient, charismatic, genuine, loving, supportive & so much more.

After being provided with the time needed to stabilize, I've been blessed with the opportunity to receive housing, as well as extremely supportive & informative group & individual therapy. This program is more than just a program. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to experience the level of care that has been provided. If it wasn't for Healthy Life Recovery, I'm not sure that I would be here to write this review. Words can't begin to express the gratitude that I have for the staff & program. I will forever be thankful for this experience.

I was so fortunate to find this place because I truly believe it saved my life…read more I was caught in the grips of the relentless cycle of addiction. I would have periods of time when I wanted to get clean but no matter what I tried I could not get out of this devastating cycle. Addicted to drugs for 15 years I was hopeless and running out of options. I was not only hurting myself but hurting my family. I stumbled across La Jolla Recovery online while desperately searching through countless treatment centers in search of one with a long-term option. I knew 30 days was simply not enough for a case like mine. I called the number and spoke to man, Daniel, whom I later found out was the owner. He walked me through the different phases of the program over the phone and gave me a rundown of what my day-to-day would look like at La Jolla Recovery. When I arrived to San Diego I was greeted by a women, Michelle, who worked at La Jolla Recovery and was also in Recovery from addiction herself. I remember feeling so relieved and hopeful that I too would be able to recover and take back control of my life. I was set up with a case manager, William, who was there to help me set and achieve goals during my stay. All of the counselors that lead groups are absolutely amazing, especially mine, Ashely. I was able to develop trust with them and work on myself during group therapy and in individual sessions which I attended weekly. The program is set up to get you into a safe environment where healing can start. As you phase up in the program you get more freedom. I was able to attend regular 12-step meetings where I built a fellowship of other recovering people. We also went on several outings and I learned that I didn't need drugs and alcohol to have a good time. There's so much more to life. We went to concerts, had barbecues and went to the beach. I enjoyed football and baseball games, surfing and snorkeling. They took us to the gym, to the movies, and to local events that we're going on in San Diego. I also did yoga, trauma therapy, art therapy, and music therapy. I cannot stress enough how amazing the staff is here! Almost everyone who works here is in recovery themselves and is truly here to help and inspire people including the owner who is hands on and makes himself available. As I phased up in the program I was able to gain a lot of things I had lost back such as my driver's license, a car, and a job. I also gained a better relationship with my family, a network people that want to help me succeed and an understanding of myself. I got back my sanity, self respect and my love for life. The support I recieved from my case manager, therapist and the BHT staff played a major role in my success. Today I have just over all year clean and I will be forever grateful to La Jolla Recovery. If you or a loved one is in need of treatment look no further! A highly, highly recommend you come to La Jolla and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed! If I can do it, anyone can!

I can't really speak on the quality of the IOP or PHP programs…read more My experience just... was not what I expected at all and I had since found better sober livings (which is saying a lot, because those were still inherently stressful but I at least stayed long-term. La Jolla Recovery set the bar very low). I've been in sober living for a year now, and I am now leaving. Never any relapses, graduated a program, did all the things. I'm at least in a better place from it. La Jolla Recovery was NOT that place for me. I began in April 2025. I stayed for a total of two nights before I had to leave to go to the emergency room, back to the inpatient. I was inpatient for about two weeks before I came to La Jolla Recovery. I had recently quit cannabis and was seeking mental health treatment. At first glance, it seemed chill. I had friends who had gone here and apparently had a positive experience. The groups were decent, staff were friendly, there was available snacks, etc. They had outings at the cove, etc. However, the sober living was......... awful! I stayed at a sober living house where I was immediately prescribed medication I had not taken while inpatient, but was forced to take it. One of these medications were entirely new to me, Trazodone. There was a delay in getting my mood stabilizers, anti-psychotic, and anti-anxiety medicine. I had never taken Trazodone before, but having nothing else available to me, I took it as prescribed/was pressured into taking it by the sober living manager who organized medications. The first night, I had stayed up ALL night. I was hyper vigilant, no need for sleep, and a little paranoid. During the day, it was... okay. I didn't really know what was impacting me considering how vulnerable my mental health was and the chaotic nature of being in sober living for the first time. The second night, I took the medication again. Again, I was feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed and restless/anxious. The sober living manager gave me a 2nd one, and I felt pressured to take it/was told "it would help me calm down and sleep"; that's when the shit show began. Immediately, I started hallucinating visual shapes and became scared. The best way I could describe it was "my brain was on fire." I have a history of epilepsy in childhood, and my first thought was "Oh my god, am I going to have a seizure?" My mind began severely racing and I asked her if I could call my parents and I thought I needed to go to the hospital. Coincidentally, my aunt called during this time. She, and another house manager, told her I had gone to sleep and didn't let her talk to me. This was a lie. I sat on the sofa, feeling severely anxious and panicked. I was not aggressive, overly disruptive, anything of the sort. Everyone was in their rooms at that point, as it was time for bed. I did, however, kept asking for them to call my parents because I was afraid I was having a medical emergency (I definitely was) and asked to go to the hospital. I had never hallucinated like that EVER, I had no previous history of psychosis. Initially, she told me "I am NOT going to let you ruin this house for the other girls," meanwhile, I had gotten along with the roommates and even knew some of them from having been in recovery before. I was clean, kind, and tried my best to be considerate. I introduced myself to people, wrote a note explaining my situation, and tried to be as mindful as I could be considering I was already in a vulnerable state, having experienced a death in my family, a sexual assault, and other traumatic occurrences within the few months prior to me seeking support and help. Then, she and the other woman (a fellow house manager?) threatened to call the police and have me taken away in handcuffs. I had done NOTHING illegal; I had no substances on my person, I respected everyone's space and items, I broke no laws. Holy hell, I was there for 2 days and was trying to get acclimated to a new environment. What was the crime, having a mental health episode as a result of a new medication mishap? Eventually, I was able to get my parents on the phone. They spoke to her directly and said that if I could leave the sober living in an ambulance, they would meet me at the hospital. I waited patiently for the ambulance and went to the emergency room, where I waited all night and was placed back in inpatient in the ICU at Sharp Mesa Vista. There, I was restabilized and put in a different sober living. The aggression from the house manager, the lack of empathy, the lying, and the arbitrary difficulty to even get into communication with my support system was actually insane. She felt like a wolf in sheep's clothing; fronted as a kind and caring person, but then would switch and be quite scary once I was in crisis. I was told by one of my friends who works in recovery that she has since left/been replaced, but oh my god, I pray that they thoroughly vet their housing managers at this point if they want retention. 0/5 stars. Avoid.
